Leopold and Loeb: The Murder That Shocked America
Caught up in the lawlessness of Jazz Age Chicago, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb plotted to commit a brutal murder for the thrill of the experience. Both believed they were too smart for the police to catch them. After their arrest, their families hired Clarence Darrow, the most famous criminal attorney in America to defend them. Join us as we discuss the crime and Darrow’s controversial defense of his clients.
Presented in partnership with the Bacon Free Library.
